Thoughtful Favors!

Wedding favors are a way for guests to take a little piece of your celebration home and remember your day long after the party is over. Whether you want to give your guests an edible treat or a small token they can display is up to you, the important thing is that you choose something you feel will represent you and tie in with the theme of your day.

Here are some of our favorite ideas:
Candy and chocolate are always a big hit, let your guests assemble their own little take home packages and make the deal even sweeter. Display them in beautiful platters as a candy buffet and wow your guests. An equally delish idea is a cookie buffet, which can consist of homemade (a good old fashioned recipe) or store bought (from your favorite bakery) cookies displayed in beautiful jars. Offer charming little paper bags with your monogram printed on them, or go for gold with classy shimmery boxes for your guests to assemble according to their taste.

 If you are going for an eco-friendly favor, potted herbs, violets or orchids are lovely and thoughtful gifts your guests will be delighted to take home! Organic honey or maple syrup in beautiful jars is also a sweet and memorable option.

If you are looking for favors to do double duty, have them serve as seating cards by simply attaching a pretty label or flag with your guest’s name on it. It is a nice and cost effective way to welcome your guests and guide them to their table. You can also use them to create a beautiful centerpiece by grouping them together on your tables and having your guests take them at the end of the evening.

Remember to display your favors in a way that is inspired by (and ties in) all the elements of the day. A simple way to do this is by matching the packaging of your favors to your colour scheme.
